I know the weather is about to change when the torture tree, the last holdout, starts to green.

The seasons really are moving along. Life is good. Happy Sunday.

Happy Sunday!
Thank you! Today is prepare-for-guests day at the K&N ranch–a special celebratory dinner for friends who have decided to move in together.
It should be a lovely evening–and outside the sun is shining.
Even the torture tree dons it's veil, it's twisted limbs restored once more by spring – tortured no more. Is it relieved to regain it's privacy do you think?
I love that tree.
Happy Sunday.
I couldn't say how the tree feels about it but once it leafs out, the hot-needle birds get a bit flummoxed. They love flitting in and out of the bare branches, snipping at bugs. The foliage, though, forms a pretty dense screen, like a green waterfall.
